Singer 14SH754 Overlocker Tutorial Part 2 – Different seam finishes

Following on from my last post and video, here is part 2. This video will introduce the main seams you can create with your overlocker. It looks at 4, 3 and 2 threads (including how to convert the machine into 2 thread stitching) and includes the Flatlock and Super-stretch.

I hope this helps you and you have a go at a few more seam finishes with your overlocker.

Hi Jamie
I was wondering if it okay to use standard cotton reels on the Serger? I use so many different colours that it would cost a fortune to have them all in the giant Overlocker cottons. I ask because I notice from the video you are using a yellow standard cotton reel. Your video’s are brilliant by the way. Angie

Jamie most sergers and this model comes with thread covers which ensure your thread come off the serger evenly, they are nylon, mesh covers and fit around the spool .. they are great to use when you use decorative thread in your serger.

Jamie you are a marvel! Clearly explained and easy to follow. You should consider making hard copies for sale. Would be so useful for us newbies as a go to reference. Thanks so much for doing this. So very helpful!

Thank You for these great videos on YouTube to help me use my new Singer Over locker. Your threading video is by far the best I’ve viewed! Very helpful!
Please consider uploading more video tutorials on your channel? I find your instructions very easy to follow, and I enjoy learning the proper way to sew (as opposed to all the “cheat” methods available online).
Thanks Again!!

Hello! Thank you for such helpful videos! I think I’ve almost got my threading cracked. I still have a little problem though – I’m doing a 4 thread overlock and the stitches look nice and even but meet ‘off’ the fabric so there is a gap between the edge of the fabric and the thread. Do you think this could be the stitch width? I have fiddled around with the tension lots but With not much luck. I saw you turn the black dial to adjust the stitch width in the first picture but I’m not able to turn mine. Any tips? I have the Lidl singer overlocker that is in your videos
